The global March Against Monsanto is taking place in over 250 cities in
over 35 countries to highlight what activists claim is "the plight of Monsanto’s domination of
our country’s food supply and their infiltration of hazardous GMOs
(genetically modified organisms) into seed crops and animal feed." Monsanto has patenting rights over some agricultural seed engineered from the DNA of different species of
plant, animal, bacterial, and viral genes.

Organizers contend that Monsanto’s
genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such
as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.
"Monsanto's products are harmful to people and the planet" said
